When it’s time for the game mechanics to control fate, players roll one HOPE die and one FEAR die (both 12-sided dice), which will ultimately impact the outcome for your characters. When Hope die is higher, you also take Hope to power future abilities and turn the tide in your favor! If the Fear die is higher, the game master takes Fear, which they’ll use to challenge the characters and richly complicate your narrative. This duality between the forces of hope and fear on every hero drives the unique character-focused narratives in Daggerheart.
In addition to dice, Daggerheart’s card system makes it easy to get started and satisfying to grow your abilities by bringing your characters’ background and capabilities to your fingertips. Ancestry and Community cards describe where you come from and how your experience shapes your customs and values. Meanwhile, your Subclass and Domain cards grant your character plenty of tantalizing abilities to choose from as your character evolves. Craft your unique character through the cards you choose and the story you tell, and become the hero you want to be!

Daggerheart game masters ask questions of their players and build on the answer, so every world, map, adventure, and story interweaves the character backgrounds and all the player’s ideas.
Daggerheart offers in-depth resources for game masters of all experience levels to ensure that anyone and everyone feels comfortable leading their game. From setting expectations in a session zero, to worldbuilding, campaign building, and adventure building, this rulebook has you covered with advice and full tutorial examples of play.
